VloggerFair was a huge success, thanks in no small part to all of you, the community! We wouldn’t have been able to run a live stream for those unable to attend without the support of 611 amazing backers! Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to also record all of the featured vloggers as they spoke and are hard at work editing these. They will be available on our YouTube channel in the very near future.

How Did Successful Funding Happen?

We have a phenomenal community. VloggerFair appealed to each of you in a very direct way, whether you’re a fan of watching our vlog (or the work others are doing) or interested in vlogging yourself. We offered the community something you might want: access to the live stream for thousands who couldn’t join us in person — in exchange for you helping us get what we needed to see our project become a success.

While I may be the “personality” that brings people in, this Indiegogo campaign’s focus and goals were honestly more about the community itself in a very direct way. The project helped me create something for you in ways I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.

The community has always been the reason I do what I do — every single day. I have been fortunate to have a large group of people with me on this crazy ride for many years, and even more fortunate to continually add to those ranks. Some people will always come and go as their interests change, but to have a large solid community is priceless to me.

So THANK YOU, Community!

I wanted to take just a moment to publicly thank each and every one of our backers, regardless of donation amount. The entire VloggerFair team is already looking ahead to our next event and to other possible things we can do together. Keep your eyes peeled: we’ll let you know as soon as anything is decided.
